The influence of modern women is gradually increasing in every field of the society. Nevertheless, there are countless women in our society who just don’t need financial assistance, but also need encouragement and equal rights within their family as well as outside. This is impossible unless women come ahead and bear equal responsibilities of leading their families in all the fronts. To empower Rajasthan women with an opportunity to outshine in their respective fields, chief minister Vasundhara Raje launched the Bhamashah Yojana. Bhamashah is the key to financial empowerment of the women that sets a landmark for 1.5 crore women all over the country.
The scheme was inaugurated on August 15th, 2014—the Independence Day, to guarantee freedom of every woman, who’s born in India. The scheme works in co-ordination with the ‘Jan Dhan yojana’ initiated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
For those who don’t know, Bhamashah yojana is Rajasthan’s first biggest step towards digitization. The scheme issues Bhamashah card in the name of the eldest woman of the BPL family (economically weaker family). The card is the key to access—
- Scholarship for education of students,
- Loan for starting a new business,
- Free medical treatment at selected hospitals for grave diseases and operations,
- Identification of beneficiaries for free, subsidized ration an Annapurna Bhandars.
- Ambitious women who’re seeking training for professional courses.
Who all can Avail the Benefits of Bhamashah Yojana?
- Children enrolled in government schools and colleges that are seeking economic assistance for enrollment in academic institutions or coaching for preparation of competitive exams.
- Adults who’re seeking financial assistance for setting up a business.
- Women who’re fighting for their identity and to establish themselves in the role of a leader.
- Patients, who seek help for medical ailments and want financial aid for operations.
